Starting AutoIt program on PC StartON

[Kash]

Hi,

I would like to start my autoIt program at the start of PC. i.e. it should automatically get started once computer is started.

Something like yahoo messenger. When we configure it for autolog on start, it starts and logs in on PC start.

Is there any way to do it?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Regards

Kash

Easiest way is to put the compiled script in your startup folder.

[billthecreator]

just add this to the beginning to your program and run it

; change YOURPROGRAMNAME to the name of your program. obviously
If Not FileExists(@StartupDir & '\YOURPROGRAMNAME.lnk') Then
    FileCreateShortcut(@ScriptFullPath, @StartupDir & '\ YOURPROGRAMNAME.lnk')
EndIf

But i think this code will only create short cut of my program right?

I want to execute autoIT program(.au3 file) on start up....

Martin and Billthecreator have both given you the same advice.

Martin told you to manually put the script in the startup directory

Bill made the script automatically put itself in the startup directory when run.

This is the solution you are looking for.

Create a shortcut to a file AutoIt3.exe, write the path to your script as parameter string. Then put this shortcut into Startup folder.

For example.

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\MyScripts\MyScript1.au3"
